Is Hyundai making a mistake not offering a diesel option for the Ai3?

Hyundai is doing something right. It means if they're not offering diesel, their market research shows it not worth it.

Perhaps they are leaving some room for a diesel variant down the road? We start with petrol, see how it goes and if there is demand then we introduce diesel.
Will the higher potential price tag of the Ai3 eat into Hyundai's own sales of the Grand i10 Nios?

But it’s a risky move and I think Hyundai knows what they are doing. The Nios will probably attract a different type of buyer than the Ai3.

Nios sales are definitely going to be hurt by this. If all you can do is get a hatch for a little more, why get a hatch?

It’s just Hyundai adapting to the market. If they're not going to offer an SUV in this space, someone else will. It’s better to cannibalize your own sales than lose them to a competitor.

I believe that in terms of features and marketing they'll differentiate the two enough. The Ai3 might go premium, while the Nios could become budget focused.

And it’s not only about the product itself, but also about the production capacity. It could be that Hyundai is trying to phase out Nios slowly and replace it with Ai3.

In fact, this could actually work in Hyundai's favor. The Ai3 might be what they come in for, but if they're cheaper they'll buy the Nios. It’s always good for more footfall in showrooms.

I fear this will result in cost cutting on the Ai3 to keep prices apart. I hope they won’t sacrifice on quality.

The real question is what this means for Venue. If the Ai3 is so good, perhaps it will cannibalize Venue sales and not Nios sales.

Don't forget that hatchbacks do still have their advantages: easier to park, better fuel efficiency. There’s still a case to be made for the Nios to attract a particular segment of buyers.

This may be part of a bigger plan to retool Hyundai's whole lineup. We could see bigger changes coming in the next few years across all segments.
Is the Casper in disguise as the Hyundai Ai3?

Come on, guys. Obviously it's just a new face on a Casper. No, Hyundai isn’t fooling anyone here.

I disagree. As you can see from the spy shots they are quite a few differences. The split headlamp design we're seeing on other new Hyundais and the longer, taller Ai3 look more like it.

So what if it’s based on the Casper? Now, the Casper is a cool little car. I'm all for Hyundai bringing that DNA to India with some market specific tweaks.

Realistically, it’s probably 70% Casper, 30% new stuff. That 30% could make a big difference when it comes to how it's received here.

I think we’re missing the point. But whether it's a Casper clone or not, the question is how does it stack up against the Punch and C3. That's the real test.

I’m honestly just excited we’re getting a new micro-SUV option. It isn't just that the segment needs more competition to keep prices in check.

The Casper is built for Korean roads, you guys are forgetting. It'll drive very differently because the Ai3 will need a completely different suspension setup for India.
Is the Ai3's sunroof going to be a game changer or just a gimmick?
02 January 2025 07:05
Sunroof on a micro-SUV? That’s just asking for trouble. In the monsoons it'll leak, guaranteed.
